I honestly dont think i have seen smaller storage space in a car....
I guess i expected more from a 40K luxury car

My Nokia E71 fits perfectly in the ashtray if I have drinks in the cupholder. Either that, or I keep a couple CF cards in there.

Calvin, not to diminish or take anything away from the G sedan, but in all honesty it is an entry level luxury sedan that can be had for just over 30k. While with options you can reach mid 40’s the size of the vehicle does not change with options. I don’t want to tell you what you should or shouldn’t buy but if space is that big of a factor you might want to check into the M series and see if that fits your bill. Or if price is a factor you can always check out the Maxima, though coming from a previous owner, I would never go back to FWD semi sports sedan over the G. Remember, the G is a Sports Sedan and like any sports car, storage space is not a selling factor. Best of luck in your decision and I doubt you’ll hear from a member here who wishes they had bought something with more storage over the exhilaration of the G…

As unappy as you seem to be with the car you probably should.

Go check out a Hyundai Genesis sedan. Maybe that will be more to your liking.

The blackberry pearl does fit very well.
Cup holder is for the coffee

A couple things I do: A Case Logic wedge for the passenger seat (for quick storage of keys, wallet, phone
http://www.caselogic.com/cell_phone_...?modelid=57172
Doesn't even interfere with front seat passengers. The door map pockets for a short umbrella, small Kleenex box, etc. The ash tray as my coin holder (easy to remove too).
I use the rear center armrest storage for seldom used things like extra sunglasses. I use the velcro backing on the owners manual and first aid kit case and stick to the side of the trunk.
The G is lacking in shortage. My previous 2006 A4 even had SUV-like drawers under the front seats and my other car, an 08 Highlander is a cubby/storage/ergonomic freak...

I was going to try the Mobi Valet MobiValet - Your Cup Holder Can Have Its Old Job Back! for a place to put my iphone. Now if I could only get the bluetooth to connect reliably!

I think you should look for another car. You seemed to care more about storage space rather than the performance, the good look and the excellent value of this car.

I just put our phones in the consule. One thing I noticed is when my battery gets too low on my phone it disables to bluetooth function. I keep it on the car charger in the consule and problem solved. My Thunderbolt with the apps I am running kills the battery fairly quick anyway.

We bought a couple of Starbucks cups that are narrow and it solved the cupholder issue while we went green at the same time. No more paper cups.

Lets see.........what I store in the car.....................owners manual in the glove box with registration and insurance card with a few napkins.......thats it other than the trunk stuff that came with the car.

The trunk fits our 2 suit cases with a bag full of goodies just incase (flash light, rain coats, emergency blankets etc etc) during road trips.

If I feel the need to carry a bunch of crap I take a different vehicle. I love the fact this car doesn't have a bunch of storage for the wife to collect crap like she does in the Jag. 90% of whats in that car will never be used or is trash. Reminds me of a junk drawer.

Here is my phone solution. I made it when I had my 07X. It requires no screws or sticky tape. It holds firmly into almost every seam in the G. You can make it for < $5 and use a little Velcro to attach your device. If you use the back of an OtterBOX case, like I eventually did, then it costs a little more.
I agree with what most of you say, store your stuff in your house, garage or trunk. Aside from looking cluttered, unnecessary and loose stuff in the cabin can be dangerous anyway.

it seems no one has mentioned the "cup holders" in the rear seats of the coupe. I think they are made for holding straws.

...probably because this is the G37 Sedan section

OP I've owned cars that had average sized gloveboxes for trunks!
A G ain't a SUV... thank goodness!
George Carlin has more to say about "Stuff". I agree with him the more space you have, the more you need. But here's my take on G storage...

I use bluetooth so my phone stays in my pocket. (Works for me, but, I understand.)
CD's get loaded on the music box and the iPod that stays in the center console.
"Paperwork" is in the glovebox.
Relatives go in the back seats. (One storage area not found in all cars and best left empty at times, but, good to have sometimes.)
I keep some stuff inside the pull-down rearseat arm rest. This is an area that could have been better exploited by Infiniti and some owners might not even notice it. IMHO.
And... for some other stuff I bought an extra zip-top bag / box made for use as an OEM Infiniti "leather" first aid kit on eBay. They are cheap, stick on the surface of the trunk liner and work great IMHO.
Personally, I also keep a pad and pen in the driver's door with a camera for the next guy to hit and run on me, a small streamlight flashlight, a remote for the gate, and an Express Lanes transponder. I also keep another... camera in the overhead holder made for sunglasses. But map pockets, door storage etc. is usually empty. This is all I really need to take and there is space to spare for me.
Personally, I love the car and rate it at the top of the dozens of makes and brands I've owned. I would buy it even without a glovebox.
